Blender 2.9 viewport overlays - show everything but verts, edges and faces in edit mode
Workspaces can achieve that behaviourn, as I don't think there is a built-in way for &quot;remembering&quot; overlay settings.
You can add a workspace using the + icon on the right of the top ribbon, and customize it as you wish, it won't affect the other ones.
Then when you want to go back to the previous state, select the original 3D Workspace.
Note that you can append workspaces from other files if you want to retrieve a particular setup from another project.
You can also change the layout in a new file and save it as the new default if you wish. Go to File &gt; Defaults &gt; Save Startup File.
